It appears that there is a shift away from accessibility for PWD to universal
access in WCAG 2.0.
Consider that:
i. Five WCAG 1.0 checkpoints including 3 P1 map to an extended WCAG 2
checkpoint 4.2 about declaring technology/providing alternative content.
ii. WCAG2's checkpoint 2.4 about navigation mechanisms maps to 13
checkpoints of WCAG 1.0 some of which are P1 and some are P2. Checkpoint
2.4 of WCAG 2 is categorized as extended and not core.
iii. On the other hand, checkpoints 4.1 and 4.3 relating to language in WCAG
1.0 now have become core under 3.1 of WCAG 2.
===
11 March 2004 WD we are no longer using the terms "Core" and
"Extended." With the new organization in the 11 March 2004 Working Draft
[3], do you still feel that there is a move away from accessibility towards
universal access?
Thank you,
